Panzer /ˈpænzər/ (German pronunciation: [ˈpantsɐ]) is a German word that means armour. It is also used by the Germans as abbreviation meaning "armored fighting vehicle" or tank (the military vehicle). The full German word for "armoured combat vehicle" is Panzerkampfwagen. The word Panzer is occasionally used in English and some other languages as a loanword in the contexts of German military.
It is mostly used in the proper names of military formations (Panzerdivision, ‘panzer division’, 4th Panzer Army, etc.), and in the proper names of tanks, such as Panzer IV, etc.
The dated but official German term is Panzerkampfwagen, ‘tank’ or literally ‘armoured combat vehicle’ (the modern commonly used synonym is Kampfpanzer, or just Panzer). The first German tank, the A7V of 1918, was referred to as Sturmpanzerwagen (roughly, "armoured assault vehicle").
The German word Panzer refers to any kind of armour, as in Plattenpanzer, ‘plate armour’, Kettenpanzer, ‘mail’, or generally gepanzert, ‘armoured’. The word also refers to an animal's protective shell or thick hide, as in Schildkrötenpanzer, ‘turtle shell'. Steel electrical conduit is called Stahlpanzerrohr, literally "steel armour pipe". Bulletproof glass is called Panzerglas, literally "armoured glass". It derives through the French word pancier, ‘breastplate’, from Latin pantex, ‘belly, paunch’, and is possibly related to panus, ‘swelling’.

Plot: Mangin, a police inspector in Paris, leans hard on informants to get evidence on three Tunisian brothers who traffic in drugs. He arrests one, Simon, and his girl-friend Noria. Simon's brothers go to their lawyer. He springs Noria, who promptly steals 2 million francs that belong to the Tunisians. They suspect her of the theft; her life as well as the lawyer's is in danger. Meanwhile, Noria is playing with both the lawyer and Mangin's affections. Mangin is mercurial anyway: intimidating and bloodying suspects, falling for a police commission trainee before flipping for Noria, wearing his emotions on his sleeve. Can he save the lawyer and Noria, and can he convince her to love?

Like a steel-on-flesh masquerade
This is the sound that makes the ground shake
Like a panzer, exterminate
How many chances are you willing to take?
Like a panzer, dominate
Why are you supreme? is this your enterprise?
Why are you still living these dreams of lies?
Not a human being or a thing between
The coldest machine the world has ever seen
This is the sound that makes the ground shake
Like a panzer, exterminate
How many chances are you willing to take?
When the skies and cities are burning
When your lungs are turning black
The machines are learning
Panzer - Full attack
Panzer - Striking back
Humanity waits for your call
This is where the humans fall
A machine parade, today
Like a steel-on-flesh masquerade
Where the fields are left in ruins
When the ground is full of tracks
The machines are turning
Here comes the second attack
When the skies and cities are burning black
The machines are learning
Panzer - Full attack
